957 East 3rd Street

The one lane road sign really needs to be placed further back on 3rd street. I was just out in front of Rawles Hall and Swain east/west and was almost hit by a car that was trying to go around 2 other cars!!! He did go up on the curb and barely missed a tree that i was standing by. If he had hit that tree his car and the tree would have fell on to me and my friend. There was also an accident earlier this week due to people not knowing they need to go into one lane. Please move the sign or add another sign at the top f the hill so when drivers are at the light at 3rd & Woodlawn they know to start getting over. Thank you!

Little metal nubs on planter curbs are unsightly, uncomfortable, and remove a primary purpose of a sitting space. They should be removed.

in front of 517 E. Kirkwood (Pot Belly patio & IU offices) there is a row of weeds wedged between the patio base and brick sidewalk. It's been there all summer, and are steadily growing. Not sure who to contact for removal (city, property manager?,IU...) thanks.

West side of Madison, south of 14th. City-owned property is unmaintained. Overgrowth blocks crucial sidewalk.

Our neighbor, James True, address 712 W. Rosewood Dr., has seriously neglected the maintenance of his back yard lawn. By our count, he has mown it once completely, and twice when he stopped half way. The current state is that his lawn is too high for a power mower to deal with. The weeds are very high (two to three feet) and the space clearly harbors rodents and snakes. Yesterday, a two and a half foot long black snake was found on the edge of his property.
Further, his older Volvo sedan has been sitting on the street along side our for property at least two months.
In the past we have contacted him, but I fear this time more authority is required.
Thanks very much for your help!

Property at 1826 E Hunter Ave has mowed their yard once this year. It is completely overgrown. Have spoken to neighbors about in the past (they, by habit, only mow it once a year), but nothing has changed.
